About J.J.Makins

J.J. Makins lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  Her love for writing first shone in grade three when her book, Boy, I Wish It Was Another Day, received so much attention from her teacher and principal that it was elevated all the way up to the district school board.  Again in college, her English professor encouraged her writing with a note on a short story, which read, “You should think about turning this into a novel.”  From that story The King of Egypt was born.  After working in interior design and then tv production, J.J. Makins finally quit working to dedicate her time to the aspiration of becoming an author.  In 2009, The King of Egypt was completed.  J.J. Makins is presently working on the screenplay for The King of Egypt along with her next novel.
